Still not going to get me to try any Windows handheld. Steam Deck or die for me.

So say we all. Just finished a couple hours of golf with your friends with several friends… on my deck, with my headset, with discord. On my couch.

Ahhh yes… So steam deck like… It has a control and a screen and everything… That’s basically the innovation in that device… For sure…

Nah, fuck Windows 11. I’m in the beginning stages of a win10 migration to Mint, and as soon as I understand how things actually work beyond the install, MS will be completely out of my life.

No idea where you are in your trek, but if you can find the time learn how to use virtual machines (or use an old laptop) so you can test stuff without fear of breaking a machine you rely on.

When I want to use a new package or make a change to my setup I will do it in a virtual machine as many times as it takes until I get it right, then use my notes to do it on my daily driver. I went from a Windows only user to daily driving Linux in about a year thanks to keeping good notes.

I have definitely considered this. Which hypervisor do you use?

Virtual Box is probably the easiest to get started but lately I have been using LXC containers because they are a very similar to VMs but with less overhead.

I just set up an Ubuntu dual boot last week. Valve has really made Linux gaming easy. Just one checkbox to enable Steamplay. I don’t see myself going back to Windows any time soon. Good luck with Mint.
